FAQ
What is Hoop Dance?
Hoop dance is an expressive form of dance using an adult size hoop. It is a powerful way to get in touch with your own beat, your playful spirit and your core. Hoop dance is a mood altering, body shaping, action packed way to move and groove.
I cannot hoop can I still come to a class?
Of course! Many people tell me that they cannot hoop but once I pass on a few little tips they are spinning all around the room/park with a huge smile on their face. The beginner classes are an ideal way to gain hooping confidence as well as explore your body and it's capabilities. It will surprise you!
I have tried to hoop with kids hoops and I am not good at it, what am I doing wrong?
When you were a child your body was smaller and so were your hoops, now that you are all grown up you need a bigger, grown up size hoop. In the Hoop Lovers classes we use hoops with a diameter of 95 - 105 cm. You will feel the difference straight away.
I have a kids hoop at home should I bring it along to class?
HOOPLOVERS classes provide you with hoops to use during class. They are adult sized hoops and make Hoop Dance and other circus style tricks much easier to tackle.

What should I wear to class?
Get ready to sweat and burn off those calories! You will need to wear something that is comfortable but will not get caught up in the hoop. Body hugging cotton is great! Something sleeveless is ideal for shoulder hooping.
